The King's Shadow, is the perfect ending to the Civil War trilogy, although it is a good enough story to be read as a stand alone novel. Anyone who reads this novel first will be greedy to read the previous two (Winter Prince and Farewell Cavaliers) The previous two novels had ultimately tragically unfulfilled love stories but here Lucinda, a very engaging and believable heroine finds a perfect match in the hero, Mark. They deserve each other and their hard won happiness together.
It is another excellent portrayal of life in 17th century life and the uncertainty of General Monck's intentions on his march to London is vividly portrayed. Having lived in Nottingham for many years and grown up close to York I was particularly delighted by the depiction of both cities.
It was also a joy to be reacquainted with the vivacious Mary Villiers and reassuring to discover how well Alice Hull had managed her business and coped without Thomas. It was satisfying to see Willys' shifting loyalties finally receive their fitting recompense.
The style is clear and well paced, a fascinating portrayal of intriguing and loveable characters ( )
